‘Out, Out–‘
BY ROBERT FROST
The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard
And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,
Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.
And from there those that lifted eyes could count
Five mountain ranges one behind the other
Under the sunset far into Vermont.
And the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
As it ran light, or had to bear a load.
And nothing happened: day was all but done.
Call it a day, I wish they might have said
To please the boy by giving him the half hour
That a boy counts so much when saved from work.
His sister stood beside him in her apron
To tell them ‘Supper.’ At the word, the saw,
As if to prove saws know what supper meant,
Leaped out at the boy’s hand, or seemed to leap—
He must have given the hand. However it was,
Neither refused the meeting. But the hand!
The boy’s first outcry was a rueful laugh,
As he swung toward them holding up the hand
Half in appeal, but half as if to keep
The life from spilling. Then the boy saw all—
Since he was old enough to know, big boy
Doing a man’s work, though a child at heart—
He saw all was spoiled. ‘Don’t let him cut my hand off—
The doctor, when he comes. Don’t let him, sister!’
So. But the hand was gone already.
The doctor put him in the dark of ether.
He lay and puffed his lips out with his breath.
And then—the watcher at his pulse took fright.
No one believed. They listened to his heart.
Little—less—nothing!—and that ended it.
No more to build on there. And they, since they
Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.

Response:

I think Robert frost was using personification to make the saw seem like an animal. He was trying to make you see that the saw can hurt somebody if not used by the right person. I believe that the family moved on because they couldn’t do anything to bring the child back.. I think he was saying to be cautious.

My name is Aaron, and I was born in May at Good Shepherd Hospital. I have a sister who is about 6 years older than me with no other siblings.

I like to draw. My favorite pasttime is drawing because the possibilities are endless. Drawing expresses my creativity easily also.

My school year goals are to improve my drawing and academic skills. I also hope to improve on my creativity. Each of these are very important to me.

     Tad and Cissie are running from what seems like two cons in The Great American Elephant chase by Gillian Cross. The catch is, this chase all started because on an elephant.

     Tad, a fifteen-year-old who never does anything right, helps a younger girl, Cissie, cross from Markle, a small town in pennsylvania, to Nebraska, while being chased by villains who claim the elephant to be theirs. The endure many points of almost getting caught., but they manage to escape with enough time to get away.

     “He is my elephant! He’s all I have in the whole wide world,” Cissie said earnestly, explaining her whole reason for running from the villains This was my favorite part because you get to see Cissie’s feelings for Khush, the elephant.

     I would give this book a ten out of ten. You will love this at any age. I believe anyone can enjoy this book as much as I do.
